Bureaucratic bloodlust is in full sway at Skanda Vale in Wales, where police are dragging chanting monks and civilians from Shambo's temple in an attempt to drag the bull to slaughter.
Monks earlier today turned away the would-be killers, demanding a warrant. When the y returned with a warrant, the gates were locked. The temple was surrounded by hundreds of chanting men, women, and children. Provoking bitter laughter, officials asked the monks to stop chanting lest the audible support "distress the animal."
Now the chanters are being forcibly dragged from the temple. More as it happens.
The monks have come up with numerous non-lethal solutions, including a charity in India willing to take Shambo, but nothing less than death will satisfy the authorities, seemingly.
